New Fabric - Anastasia by Leesa Chandler

At the International Quilt Market in Houston Leesa Chandler released details of her new Culture Club Fabric Collection: Anastasia for Robert Kaufman. This will be the third collection as part of the Culture Club Story.

Anastasia is inspired by the textiles and architecture of historic Russia. Paisleys, Folkart Roses, Temples, Glassware and Traditional Costumes all played a part in the inspiration behind the range.

Leesa has once again created several patterns which were designed to use the fabrics from this collection including this cutie mouse and pin cushion

 This collection has two different colourways and will be available in shop in February 2013.

 This is the panel that is part of this new collection

 Love this stripe fabric.

The mauve/purple colourway. Both the colourways do have the gold accents on the fabrics.

 

 This was a fabric pattern that I was unsure of then saw that it could be cut into square blocks, and of course I start thinking of quilting designs it could be used in.

 

 The allover paisleys are one of my favourite patterns in this new collection.

Keep an eye out for this to be in store in February.

International Quilt Market Part 1

There is so much to write about quilt market that I have split it into several posts.

The International Spring Quilt Market takes place in May of each year. It is a trade only event and the location of the show moves each year. This year it took place in Kansas City, Missouri. On show is the latest fabrics, notions, books and everything quilting.  I love attending Quilt Market as it gives me the opportunity to meet up with our regular suppliers, to see what is new, meet up with fabric designers and author and much more.

The fabric companies always put on a fantastic displays so their new collections.

The following photos are of the booths from the fabric companies. They always have the sample of the new fabric but they also have quilts and projects on display using these fabrics which is great as you see the fabric all made up.
